Luke: "If these new droids do work out, I want to transmit my application to the Academy this year."
Owen: "You mean the next semester before the harvest?"
Luke: "Sure, there's more than enough droids."
Owen: "Harvest is when I need you the most. Only one more season. This year we'll make enough on the harvest so I'll be able to hire more hands. And then you can go to the Academy next year."
Owen: "You must understand I need you here, Luke."
Luke: "But it's a whole 'nother year."
Luke Skywalker and Owen Lars[src]

A year was a measurement of time on the Galactic Standard Calendar, consisting of 368 standard days; ten standard months (of five standard weeks consisting of five days) plus three Fete Weeks and three more holidays, all devoted to traditional celebrations, festivals and observances.[1]

Years were sometimes measured in twelve months[2] instead of ten.

The length of a planetary year was determined by the orbital radius and speed of the planet. Satellite planets - moons orbiting a gas giant - were almost always tide-locked to the gas giant they orbited, and may have days several dozen hours long (as long as it takes the satellite to orbit the gas giant). The local year of a satellite depends on the orbit of the gas giant and may be several Standard Years long.[3]
